Bike MOD revived.

[Meyer#12]

Sorry Klax. I was still getting "Data Mismatch" even after downloading and installing the RCV v7 into my BikeMOD 2.75 No Paints install. In the end I just downloaded the BikeMOD 2.75.zip file and did a fresh install of all bikes from that and it all works fine for me now, except a few servers(those maybe not updated yet?).... But they are still stated as V2.70 but can still connect to some GPBikes.es servers(moto 3 being one of them that's still stated as v2.70 but can connect with BikeMOD 2.75).

Hawk.

Just a thought, isnt it more about the current version of that bike category than of the bikemod?
I have been able to connect to servers with never bikemod stated, but because f.ex moto3 haven't been updated and the server is a moto3 server, there is no problems, as long as you have the latest moto3? Same goes the other way, do you have the newest BikeMod and try to connect to an earlier BikeMod, there is no problem unless the bike is updated after :-)

Another thing, could the data mismatch come from the track being used is updated and yours is not or the other way?

Just my experience so far, hope it helps :-)

Good points.
Yes the version of bike causes Data Mismatch not the Bikemod version. This mismatch problem only shows on OPEN servers or servers set with a category of bike at a different version to the one in the players Bike folder.
An OPEN server will check the version of ALL bikes the player has.
Hence, it is NOT a huge problem. Few servers will actually run or race in OPEN.  Its just that there is an anomaly that has been found and its nice to jump on it.

If a track is not at the right version the player wont see the server in the World server list in game. No data mismatch will be seen in this case as the player cant even see it to try and join.

The problem (my understanding after many hours doing server setup) is that there is still an anomaly between the Bikemod.zip and NoPaints downloads. One Klax has found (RCV2014) but there is something else it seems.  Players using the Bikemod.zip seem to be OK.

The real problem is that the anomaly is a bitch to find and we should be patient and respect the huge task Klax has undertaken on behalf of us all.

Like I say, its actually not much of a problem, just more of a niggle.

Still, if the game was able to tell us which damn bike is causing the mismatch (I don't get it, is it that hard ?) we wouldn't even been talking about all that ...

I can easily see a new player joining the community, being mighty pissed off by that stuff and leaving on the spot.

MaX.

The way we found the GP1000 was two of us using a halving fault finding method - you know load half the bikes in then half it again etc until you find the dodgy bike category, then half all the bikes in that cat until you find 'the one'.  In between each manoeuvre is a restart of server and a log in on another pc as the player etc etc. And sods law says the first half is the wrong half lol.
So I agree, cant the game just tell us!

A simple method would be automated file comparison software. I used to use some for small text files but it would not handle all these files and size and would still be laborious. Maybe someone can suggest a method.

My personal feeling at the moment would be to have ONE SINGLE download and make life easy. But I have asked this question already and the reasons given quantify why we do it like we do.

But my point was (and is) that we shouldn't need all that: we just need the game itself to tell us "Data mismatch on bike Freakazumi 500 turbo 3-strokes and a half" instead of "Data mismatch".
Again, I really really can't see why this is so hard to implement ... it's just one of the multiple PITA we have to endure for apparently no real reason.

MaX.

Indeed, I did agree to your point in my garble, and do. Its a good point 

Still, if the 'final version' won't have community modded bikes, tracks and all .............

Klax - you might want to look at the Freakazumi 500 bike as a possible mismatch.  <chortle>

Right this thread must get strictly back on-topic please.

If I just add franco's bikes to my bike folder will that work??

Feeling lazy

Are the update patches for the GP Bikes Italia Mods added or do I have download them myself?

They should already be in there.

[janaucarre]

there is a difference between the dropbox and mega rar file, the name of dropbox wsbk v97 contains 1 more space between bikeset and v97By.
I've noted that you didn't say us that the Suzuki-2015-V3 is in the news bikes mod.
